Anyone experienced this coding problem before?

I've learned through trial and error that Neopet's coding is no longer allowing the word "base" to be linked at all. It is immediately changed to "invalid words." Therefore, if you have a username with something like baseball in it, you can't link to your user look up, your shop, gallery, etc. A maller of mine is dealing with this problem at the moment, but his ticket has remained unanswered by TNT. I also sent something in with no response. I'm sure they are overwhelmed with the amount of frozen accounts at the moment. Is there a way around this that anyone knows about?

I don't understand why they're filtering base? Any ideas?

The <base> tag specifies a default address or a default target for all links on a page. Therefore, using that tag, people could put in an off site URL in a tag other than an a href link (the other thing that was changed, by necessitating quotes). Both things are part of the link security they just changed. Apparently they are filtering any 'base' that is inside of <>s for the security right now, hope the current filter is a stop gap then while they tweak it...
